Questions from Penwood
Which station is closest to Penwood?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Is Penwood close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Penwood?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cover Penwood and the whole of West Berkshire
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
